Korn is prepping the release of its 13th album, and while fans haven't gotten many details about it yet guitarist Brian "Head" Welch recently chatted about what makes this new batch of songs so "special."

“I’ve never seen Jonathan [Davis, singer] work so hard on a record since Untouchables," he admitted, referring to the band's 2002 album. "He’s always involved, don’t get me wrong, but he has a different passion, because he went through a lot last year. He has time, he has energy, he has pain and he just grabbed the record. It’s so special.”

Last year, Davis' estranged wife passed away, and from the sounds of it he's harnessing that grief to write some of Korn's most powerful songs to date. So when can we hear the new project? For that question, Welch doesn't have a clear answer.

“We are kind of in a little argument with the label about the date, so we’re trying to keep it all peaceful, things happen. But it’s coming out,” he said candidly.
